Homeowner Care For a New Concrete Driveway

Do not drive on a new driveway for at least 7 days after placement

Do not allow drain water to undermine the slab and cause settlement cracking

Never use de-icers containing ammonium sulfate or ammonium nitrate

Use sand on icy surfaces

Protect the concrete from exposure to liquid fertilizers systems used for lawn treatments

Apply a quality concrete sealer. most building materials need protection from severe weather
conditions ( i.e., treated lumber, asphalt & concrete ) concrete driveways require a quality sealer
since ohio is a severe weather region, it is especially important that concrete driveways are
sealed. a quality sealer will allow the surface of the driveway to resist the penetration of water
or damaging road salts. the homeowner should apply a quality sealer 30 days after the driveway
is installed or prior to the first freeze. a.s.t.m. approved sealers are available at most building
material dealers and concrete producers

Applying the sealer should be done after the driveway has been power washed and the surface
in dry

Sealing the driveway can be done by sprayer or roller.
